Just Drop It!
* a lesson on predicting using slope
Just Drop It!
Focus Question:
If Kevin Durant and Derek Fisher were to drop a ball from their individual heights, how high would each ball bounce?
Just Drop It!
Activity Steps:● Give instructions to whole class● Divide into groups of 4● Go to testing areas● Experiment and collect data● Put data on class data chart and graph● Discuss data
Just Drop It!
Collaboration Discussion● Discuss lesson● Make changes● Discuss changes● Prepare to teach modified lesson
Just Drop It!
Modified Lesson● Fewer instructions● Students practice dropping procedure● Each student constructs a graph● Slope added to lesson● Test Kevin Durant's and Derek Fisher's
drop heights
Lesson Study
2nd Collaboration Discussion● Less engagement during discussion● Change focus question● Don’t do slope● Focus on predicting using line of best fit
Lesson Study
Pros● Great model● Best for students● Evaluates lesson, not teacher
Lesson Study
Cons● Need more training time● Finding time for observations● Finding time for collaboration● Getting people “on board”
